KYB 3340064 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Jeep

The KYB Excel-G suspension strut is built to restore original ride control, steering response, and handling on select Jeep applications. This KYB Excel-G 3340064 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut made on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components for a direct replacement approach.

For Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot owners looking for a front left suspension strut that returns the vehicle to factory-style damping characteristics, this part is calibrated to maintain designed performance rather than change it.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line for drivers who want factory-correct suspension behavior. The 3340064 front left strut uses a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design and is engineered to work with the vehicle’s original suspension tuning. It is a strong match for 2017 Jeep Compass front left, 2011-2017 Jeep Patriot front left, and 2011-2016 Jeep Compass front left applications. This part number 3340064 is also listed with Jeep OE interchange references for the same fitment family.

Because suspension performance affects braking, tire contact, and electronic safety systems, restoring the strut to OE-style operation helps keep the vehicle operating as intended. KYB also recommends replacing the strut mount and strut boot separately when needed to reduce noise, vibration, and contamination.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or poor damping at the front left corner
• Reduced steering response during lane changes and turns
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or vibration from aging strut components
• Loss of factory-style ride stability on Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot models

Installation Notes and Quality Assurance

Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For 2011-2017 Jeep Patriot and 2011-2016 Jeep Compass applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as directed by the vehicle manufacturer. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5601, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, when servicing the assembly. Verify compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and upper mount type before installation.

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB assembly lines using OE-quality components to restore original suspension performance. Part number 3340064 is engineered for consistent damping and alignment support in the specified Jeep applications.
